I caught sight of this rubbish bin a few weeks ago just round the corner from the Photographer’s Gallery in London.
It is said that all publicity is good publicity, or to put it another way (in a phrase that has been credited to the American showman, Phineas T Barnum): ‘there is no such thing as bad publicity’.
And so, here I am happily publicising this company whose clever Strap Line, or Tag Line is ‘Our Business is Rubbish’. It certainly caught my attention.

Love the patterns and color contrast on this Andy. That is a creative slogan.

Thanks, Len. People come up with some clever ideas don’t they.

It may look like rubbish but it smells like money. I do like a good tag line like this and the photo has some interesting graphics as well.

Thanks Ken. A company as inventive as this deserves to do well.

We have an area up here in our mountains near Alta, Utah, called “Albion Basin….” So this is an Albion bucket or dumpster…something like a waste-basin…at a little stretch…. 😉

It’s a great tag line for a company. It makes you stop and think – which is exactly what we photographs want to achieve, too, isn’t it? The picture speaks for itself. Graphically I like the horizontal stripes from the closed gate, repeated with broader stripes on the garbage container itself.

Many thanks Otto. I enjoy finding images like this, they are a nice diversion from the rest of my output. I particularly liked the graphic element to this.

Too funny! I guess it could be read any and either way. It does make me wonder what goes thru people’s minds…:-)!

What a funny but very effective tagline. These folks are smart marketers. I have never seen a pinkish container for trash / rubbish. Clearly designed to stand out.
Great shot, Andy.
